The Mendelssohn Club of Kingston performs in and
around the city of Kingston. Each December we present a
standing-room-only concert at the venerable Old Dutch
 Church,
our current rehearsal site. We have been fortunate to have the award-winning
Kingston High School Choir and Kingston High School Brass Choir perform
with us annually for the past 12 years.
The spring concert is held in late April or early May at St. James Church in Kingston. The club performs in a wide variety of musical styles, including sacred, classical, spiritual, theater, folk, popular, and operetta. The club was founded in 1903 and with the exception of the war years has presented performances annually. Previous conductors have included Albert G. Hunter, J. Anthony Hummel, and J. Brian Steeves. As stated in its bylaws, the club's purpose is "to promote interest in choral group singing...to promote friendship, sociability, and culture among friends of music...and to lawfully do any and all things necessary, suitable, and proper, for the accomplishment of these purposes." The club is pleased to be an active member of the Conductors Club and of the Mohawk-Hudson Male Chorus Association and is well represented in the Yankee Male Chorus, which performs annually in Vermont and New Hampshire.
